SUSTAINABLE HEAVY-DUTY INITIATIVES FOR FUTURE TECHNOLOGY

Maritime

Balboa Island Ferries

Demonstrating zero-emission propulsion for compact, high-demand ferry service in a complex harbor environment, helping remove technical and operational barriers to clean marine transit.

Gold Rush Fishing

Demonstrating a hybrid zero-emission propulsion system for a commercial fishing vessel to reduce air pollution, support compliance with future regulations, and establish a replicable model for cleaner marine operations.

Los Angeles Marine Emissions Reduction (LAMER) Project

Demonstrating advanced harbor craft technologies—including Tier 4 and zero-emission-capable systems—to reduce criteria pollutant emissions and support cleaner operations at the Port of Los Angeles.

Monterey Bay’s First Hybrid-Electric Whale Watching Vessel

Demonstrating a Coast Guard-certified, solar-supported hybrid-electric vessel for year-round whale-watching operations, showing how low-emission marine technology can scale across California’s coastal tourism industry.

Zero Emission Sustainable Transportation (ZEST)

Designing and deploying battery-electric ferries and fast-charging infrastructure to decarbonize a high-demand transit corridor between downtown San Diego and Coronado.

Angel Island Tiburon Ferry Electrification Project

Converting and replacing diesel ferries with electric vessels and shoreside charging to deliver cleaner, quieter ferry service between Tiburon and Angel Island while demonstrating full-fleet electrification in marine transit.
